Goodreads asked Martin McConnell:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Martin McConnell The original short story that spawned the Viral Series was a memorable "What if." I was on my way to an oil rig to report. It was late. I was tired of driving and had several hours to go. I stopped in at a Wendy's, ordered some food, filled out my journal.
In the car prior to getting there, I was thinking about expansion methods that big-box stores might consider in the future. What if they added another story for apartments where the employees could live for cheap rent and little to no commute? What if they grew their own food on the roof? What if they never had to leave?
Pretty much where the viral series started.
